It’s striking to see bipartisan moves in the US Congress to block President Trump from seizing control of Greenland.
But our government is not being realistic about the nature of the Trump regime, still talking of "close partner and ally".

Ridiculous that young people, who are not able to drive as a means of transport, are so often excluded from conversations around concessionary bus travel.

It should spark a wider conversation about social media platforms. We clearly can't - and shouldn't - just rely on the responsibility of the owners.
